From: Worst-jobs.com
Ideal for: Young, adventurous boys who wish to see the world and pursue a career in military medicine.
Job Specifications: You are, to put it simply, the warship’s errand boy. “Loblolly” is taken from the name of a thick porridge made of meat and vegetables that’s served to sick sailors. That’s one of your jobs. It’s also a general description of how tedious, and sometimes disgusting, your work will be. Aside from having to balance several bowls of hot liquid on a tray, steadying yourself against the undulations of the ship while carefully stepping over the vomit on the floors, you have to clean medical equipment, monitor supplies, and heating the various irons required for the amputation of limbs and treatment of bleeding haemorrhages. (Don’t worry, you’ll get used to their screams—and eventually, even the nasty task of picking up and throwing away the discarded leg stumps).
Drawbacks: You mean exposure to viruses and direct contact with amputated limbs isn’t drawback enough?! Ok, then; if you have no problem dealing with other people’s guts spilling on the floor, what about your own? You’re working on a warship, and highly trained military personnel are out to kill you. That’s never good, even on your best days.
Perks: The fun, the adventure, the chance to see the world! Plus, if you play your cards right, you can climb the ranks. Pray you live that long.

STOP PRESS :: This weeks worst job
Hi, My name is Hans Dowwen and I come from Sweden. My job is crap - literarily! Yes I am a toilet attendant. Now I know that there are many toilet attendants in the world but I think my job is worst of all. Why? Because I work in the Stockholm Constipation Clinic. So what's so bad about that - well people come to the clinic because they have not been able to crap. Sometimes there have people who have not had a good shit for weeks. An what happens - well they are given tablets and potions and have things stuffed up there bums. And what happens next - yes that's right weeks of pent up festering shit comes hurling out. This vile smelling disgusting stuff blocks up the WCs and I need to unblock it. It also comes out at such a force it goes all over the walls and floors. And who needs to clean up - yes me! So what do I get paid for this disgusting job - 80,000 Swedish Krona - about $11,000. Not a lot for all the crap I take.
